The software I use for this is called Windows.

Here is a link showing how:

Assign Permanent Drive Letters To A Removable USB Drive In Windows

http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/assign-permanent-drive-letters-to-a-removable-usb-drive-in-windows/

I believe you would have to do this for each of the USB drives

on each of the systems. If you do not use more than one of them at a

time on a system, I think you could use the same drive letter. (I

only have one USB drive to worry about so I have not tried this.)
